How to buy any player for the lowest price asked

Hi FMM friends, 

I don't know if anyone talked/posted about this - I don't think its a bug - but I'm here to show you something that I discovered in both FMM19 & FMM20 and that I had the intention to post it here so you guys could enjoy while playing FMM. It will be a lot of pics because I will try to explain it step by step. I will show you how to buy a player for the lowest price when there is also another club interested in the player. Other clubs that are interested in a player that you would like to sign to your club can/will raise the price but with this trick you will be able to overcome that problem. It's good espically if you are enjoying a low league career. 

 

Let's find a player of our choice first.

 

Thomas Partey is our choice. Lets make offer for Partey.

 

 

What we do is change the offer type to Enquiry so that we can get a clue about the price the club is asking for the player. 

 

 

They are asking 11.5M for the player. Now that is a good price and the lowest price. We suggest terms and try to remove the sell on percentage.

 

 

Oh no, Borussia Dortmund made a bid for 12.25M and that is a bigger offer than ours! What do you think we should do next?

 

 

Of course we raise the price and give a bigger offer than Dortmund. 13.25M is our offer Mr. Simeone. 

 

 

OMG! Lucien Favre, what is wrong with you? 24M? That is twice as much as your first bid. 

 

 

We offered 30M this time and Atleti accepted our offer. Finalise the deal.

 

 

All good here. Offer contract and here is where we do the trick. 

 

 

We exit talks here and pretend like nothing happened

 

 

Once here we will go for a new bid. Bid here in this message. 

 

 

We will see that our last offer stands here but the trick is that we change offer type to Enquiry again. 

 

 

They will ask for 11.5M and %10 sale on percentage again. Remove the sale on percentage and suggest terms. 

 

 

Hell yeah! They accepted the offer of 11.5M without the sale on percentage. Finalise the deal.

 

 

Offer contract. 

 

 

Finally Partey have too accepted our contract offer. Finalise the deal for the last time. 

 

 

Congrats! We just signed Thomas Partey for the lowest price that Atleti asked at the first place but other interested clubs forced us to raise the price. 

 

 

Enjoy your FMM days my friends.

A low league career with 200+M sounds unlikely to me. 

The problem most would have in LLM is there's much lower funds which prevents us from outbidding any rivals.

You can do it with few 100k's too. It's not the funds that I'm trying to show but the trick.

So this is just a bug/cheat. Hope it gets fix. Nice find tho.

This was already present for the last 3 games at least.

More of a bug than a trick, but thanks for sharing.

Noticed this the last couple of years myself and brought it up to SI 2 or 3 times - ignored on every occasion.

I’ve been using this for years... 😙

I noticed this in last years edition, it also doesn't work if the seller accepts multiple bids of the same price. When you exit talks the player will just accept the rivals contract

Not very Mercantilist of me, but I stopped using it 3 or 4 editions ago. Capitalising on flawed AI is bad form. Like in Pokemon where you can 'miraculously' see whom the AI is deploying next (and thus counter), this is one of my pet peeves.
